Helmets

[Mr.Officer]

Re: Helmets

I sincerely hope this is not funny and trying to spam us with your query, because just yeaterday you were hell bent on praising the vega helmet.

I cant fathom why would you think that way.


Kindly refer to my posts, I never said that Vega Axor is BETTER than X.Y or Z or is the best available.

Time and again I've said that I'll get a better/proper lid soon and hence the post you're referring to...

All I've been saying is that it's a decent purchase for that price IMO and still maintain that.

At the time when I picked Vega, I'd considered Studds/Steelbird as well but liked Vega and eventually bought it.

Yes, for a little more I could have got LS2 but a little more meant stretching my budget to ~ 4k and from there SOL wasn't too far away.

I had to buy a helmet ASAP so instead of going with any ISI helmet, I chose to go with Vega !

Chill ! No need to explain yourself got your point. Thats why I suggested the helmets.
BTW, new helmets have been launched by SPG. Take a look at them also. Under ₹4k, I would be gettingone soon

Mr. Officer,

With all due respect and regards, do not contemplate too much on non-essential points here. Nadz was being analytical because of your previous posts. It is a community for the biking brotherhood and every rider here respects the other. You were just being arrogant when you asked Prateek to drop by to testify your VEGA, nothing against but please understand that anything that is suggested here is outta experience and seriousness - nobody would simply play an antagonistic role, all wants you to ride safe!, and hence the advise.

Ride safe.

Thank Heavens, sigh of relief


Thank you for the suggestions but I thought someone could help me zero down on a few options/models from their memories which met my expectations.

This new launch by SPG couldnt have come at a better time - as Sunny Sir stated - I can check all the boxes with these.

I'd love to buy the REVENGE Limited-EVO - if available at ~ 4k odd [introductory offer] it'd be a STEAL



Cheers

What has been perceived as arrogance was just an honest attempt to cement what was posted about - wind noise

In fact I would've taken the helmet to where Prateek is - issi bahaney milne ka aur saath ride karney ka mauka mil jaata [to meet and prolly ride together]

Anyways, nuff said already, let's get back to discussing helmets, PLEASE, Shall we ?

Re: Helmets

Did I hear "ride", I need to wash my Helmet Paddings and jacket before that
Back to topic : In Delhi I am mentioning some places from where one can get helmets.
1) Veekay Traders Karol Bagh - LS2 (ISI Stickers), Vega, Studds
2) Chopra , Karol Bagh - LS2 (ISI Stickers), Vega, Studds, Airoh - He will quote a lil higher price.
3) Mahalaxmi, Karol Bagh - Sparx, KBC, HJC - no guarantee of being genuine, but if you are lucky, you might get older models of sparx.
4) Pardesi, Karol Bagh - Sparx and few others

P.S : No one of these would sell with bill, that means you wont get any warranty for the helmet.
P.P.S : If you are buying LS2, get clear visor then and there or order it from the place you are getting, as the clear ones are rarely available. Whereas if you are buying Sparx, get the visor as per requirement as its visor could cost upto 900INR. Its better to buy visors at the time you purchase the helmet, in this way you can bargain too.

Yea ive faced some good things with Mahalaxmi long back, Sparx came out to be something worse than LS2, one month in the city and the whole inner shell came out as if it was some 200rs helmet.
Good I baught it just for fun and not for riding, 2500 for a sparx helmet was something amazing and I baught it without even thinking for the second time.
Karol bagh is nothing but a place where anything can be duplicated, anything means anything, ive seen Arai and Agv too there at Mahalaxmi.
Be careful guys, dont get fooled around for a 1000 bucks and risk your life. Buy a genuine helmet with bill and warranty.
I baught my SOL SF1 from Meandering, amazing helmet but very heavy for touring, if you are not used to heavy helmets then ull have severe neck pains and fatigue issues with it.

Re: Helmets

@Akki4134 : I know your experience with Karol Bagh, btw my LS2 which is 3 years old now is going strong and yes it came with bill and irs DOT certified, the first lot.
Yes , others, be careful what you buy when you are in Karol Bagh. For genuine helmets, Meandring, Retro Rides, Torqued Apparel and others are there.

Yep Ride, take your time but don't procrastinate for too long

Now, these situations make me skeptical about buying life saving gear from nefarious shop keepers in Karol Bagh.
I think I should wait for SPG to launch MT helmets - they look promising
Any idea who'd stock these in Delhi, last I checked Meandering had a few SOL helmets so I'm assuming they'd stock MT gear too, any others you reckon ?

I'd like to try stuff before purchase. Had I bought my riding jacket and gloves online per size chart - I would've got it horribly wrong !

As of now, Meandering India is the only SPG dealer in Delhi, and they never have the helmets I want in stock. I think SPG does provide exchange in case there is an issue with the size one ordered, so you can get it online.

Meandring is the only official dealer here. I am sure Rajiv would be kind enough to help you with the helmets, but make sure to keep a check on the order.

Thank You !

So, you're a pro, great. It's good to be busy but find that w/e soon.

Checked out your clicks at trackday - Good work !

This gentleman Rajiv, is he with Meandering or with SPG ?

Re: Helmets

Mr.Officer meandering India doesnt stock the SOL helmets. they get them on order. the ones that are kept there are for display but even they get sold ! The stock comes in like after every three weeks or so. So if Sol is what you want, you will have to decide on Size Model and everything and place the order. Mr. Rajiv Pradhan is the owner of meandering India by the way.
